"The relationships I've been able to develop with both the
campers and my fellow Team members over the past two summers have
been truly special. I've found the enthusiasm and involvement of
the children as well as the dedication and professionalism of the
staff to be quite unique. The ESF experience is something that,
in my opinion, should not be missed."
|
|
“Being a part of the ESF Team has allowed me to be surrounded
by amazing people, who share the same dedication, devotion, and
love for children as I. ESF has also brought to me Dream Camp, which
has opened my eyes to see life through the magnificent children
of Dream Camp!”

"When I came home each summer during college, I looked forward
to working at ESF as a sports camp coach. It was incredible to have
my own team of little guys and girls who all just wanted to play
sports and have a great time. Based in large part on these summers,
I decided to become a full-time teacher and coach and made the move
from a coach to a sports camp director."

| 
“In 1992, I applied for my first job with ESF as a counselor.
This was the beginning of many more summers to come at ESF: it also
sparked my interest in becoming a teacher. I later moved on to become
an Assistant Day Camp Director and then a Day Camp Director. After
a few summers in these positions, I was ready to take the challenge
of becoming a Site Director. Many thanks to ESF for creating wonderful
opportunities during my college years and throughout my career as
a teacher.”

|
"Being involved with ESF is an experience like no other. Both
the staff and campers have an energy and excitement that make each
day different from the next."
